Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "x86/mm: Mark __pgtable_l5_enabled __initdata"
Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2018 01:08:40 +0300
Message-ID: <20180622220841.54135-2-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180622220841.54135-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
This reverts commit e4e961e36f063484c48bed919013c106d178995d.
We need to use early version of pgtable_l5_enabled() in
early_identify_cpu() as this code runs before cpu_feature_enabled() is
usable.
But it leads to section mismatch:
cpu_init()
load_mm_ldt()
ldt_slot_va()
LDT_BASE_ADDR
LDT_PGD_ENTRY
pgtable_l5_enabled()
__pgtable_l5_enabled
__pgtable_l5_enabled marked as __initdata, but cpu_init() is not __init.
It's fixable: early code can be isolated into a separate translation
unit, but such change collides with other work in the area.
That's too much hassle to save 4 bytes of memory.
Return __pgtable_l5_enabled back to be __ro_after_init.
